Multi-Tenant and Sharing

For RAN sharing the two most commonly used solutions are known as MOCN (Multi
Operator Core Network) and MORAN (Multi Operator RAN).

With MORAN everything in the RAN (antenna, tower, site, power) except the radio
carriers is shared between two or more operators.
With MOCN, two or more core networks share the same RAN meaning the carriers
are shared. The existing core networks could be kept separate. MOCN is the most
resource efficient solution as it gives the mobile operators the opportunity to
pool their respective spectrum allocations, resulting in improved trunking
efficiency. For UMTS, MOCN has been supported since 3GPP Release-6. For LTE since
Release-8 and Support for GERAN was added as part of Release-11.

With both approaches the mobile operators can choose between sharing the
transmission pipes or having them separate (in the same physical link).

Parallel Wireless can enable both, MORAN and MOCN with its OpenRAN SDRs and OpenRAN
Aggregator and Open RAN Soltuion to ensure each subscriber gets the best QoS.
